U.S. President Donald Trump said on July 29 that Washington would deliver a heavy blow to Iran, accusing Tehran of firing missiles at U.S. forces in the Middle East. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said it was now time for the United States to respond and described the coming action as unavoidable from Iran’s perspective. He also said Iran had asked the U.S. not to launch a strike, but added that the United States would teach Iran a lesson. Earlier the same day, Trump had already said in an interview that the U.S. would carry out a strong retaliation and strike Iran hard. Separately, he said he had received a briefing on a drone attack targeting a liquefied natural gas carrier in waters off Egypt and said the issue would be resolved. Trump also said he wants language added to a Russia sanctions bill previously pushed by the late Senator Lindsey Graham that would authorize the U.S. to levy tariffs on Iran.
